All is well here in East Central Florida after Hurricane Irma, the water is high, but is pretty clear following the big east wind pushed in ocean water to the Indian River backcountry and Mosquito Lagoon, the fall mullet run is going on with lots of bait fish schools, inshore game fish moving in on their migration towards the south, Jack Crevalle, Bluefish, Ladyfish, Tarpon in addition to our resident Seatrout, Redfish, Mangrove Snapper, Snook, and more. Fun fishing charters continue, both before and now after the storm, just a couple days before Irma’s arrival, was out on the flats of Mosquito Lagoon with regular client Vic from Orlando on his annual September trip with me, hunting Redfish, poling the grass flats, and catching some Seatrout on live baits off the edges on drop offs, Family friend Angel caught a 25” Red along a scenic old Florida palm tree lined shoreline……………….
Vic was quite happy catching Redfish this morning also………………
Son Mikey caught the best Trout of the morning………………
New clients from Indiana and The Villages in Florida came out a few days after the hurricane past through, we started out in the backwaters, light tackle free line fishing, catching a little slower than would be usual with the flood level water and all after the storm, but still catching a bunch of Jack Crevalle, Ladyfish, and Snappers, by late morning we switched tactics to the flats hunting Redfish catching a few spot tails, Denise got a nice Red with an extra spot……………………
Always some surprise catches in the back country, this one a 5.5 lb. Sheepshead caught by Larry, usually a winter catch, this one a summer Sheepy………………..

They don't usually bother me, even if they are biting. I have noticed over the past few months they have been getting much bigger and I am feeling the bite more. Those things and Bull sharks are going to take over the world! Gotta love evolution.

September is upon us and most of us know it's the beginning of the fall season of fishing. In my opinion the best time of year to surf fish our local waters. Red drum should be arriving soon, shark starting to leave, mullet should soon be on the move bringing in lots of fish to the surf, flounder starting to move offshore. But with September fishing comes the peak of Hurricane season. Makes things difficult to get out at times.
For those interested, the 16th annual Red Drum Tournament is coming up around the 20th. 18 or so people entered so far, if you need more info look up keepers of the beach website, http://www.keepersofthebeach.com, for additional info. Cut off date to enter is the September 8th and last day entry is usually permitted at the AMSA building next to Eagles Nest Golf course off Rt. 611.
Post your reports let us know how you do. I'll be in the tournament hope to see you all out there.
